SVN trunk now produces GRASS 7 (and a lot is broken due to heavy
development).There shouldn't really be all that much broken. In particular, the GUI
(both gis.m and wxgui) should be unaffected.The modules which are known to be broken (and are likely to stay
broken for a while or even permanently) are those which interact with
the user via a terminal or by using the mouse with XDRIVER.Anything which runs without interaction (i.e. anything used internally
by the GUI or run from the GUI without using run_xterm or
guarantee_xmon) is supposed to work.[Both of those features may as well be removed from gis.m in 7.x.
Anything which requires them is dead.]Of course, with so many changes being made, bugs may get introduced,
but those can usually be fixed quickly when they are pointed out (and
the time taken to identify such bugs depends heavily upon the amount
of testing they get).
Thanks for the update Glynn. Knowing this, I'll try updating from trunk soon and see what happens. Another concern I have is that so far, William has not been able to compile Cairo on the Mac--though it seems like this will happen pretty soon. Do I now need Cairo to run the GUI?
